Gotta be the Pats out of these three. No team with Plummer leading them will make it to the Super Bowl. That offense is bad and the defense is very good but isn't enough to compensate for the offense when playing elite teams.

Pats have the best chance out of these 3. They still have a sick front 7 (which has surprisingly become very underrated), and they got Brady on offense, and Maroney now too. If they can get Ben Watson more involved in the pass game and get Chad Jackson the ball some, the offense will be good enough with that defense to go into the second round of the playoffs.

Their CBs will be the reason why they don't make it to the SB though.

I've said that all along. Especially when people were picking Dallas to be great this offseason and picking them to better than the pats. The Pats front 7 is light years ahead of Dallas. Their future there isn't looking so great because of old LBs, but there front 3 is the best in the business. For this year they are a serious Super Contender.

CBs are a problem but Belichik is the masterful scheme king. The best coach in the league. His defenses can mask the problems at CB as he has been doing for years.

New Orleans is good but overhyped imo (they very well could prove me wrong)

New England has been great and is great in the playoffs... except there's only one coach even Bellechik can't outcoach... Mike Shannahan. Seeing how the Patriots would have to get thru the Broncos one way or another, I'll give the edge to us (call me a homer if u want, but the Broncos have had the Patriots number even with Brady)

Belichick has beaten Shanahan before and he can do it again.

what's the pats record against denver over the last 5 years? i'm just curious.

i really like denver, tatum bell i think is one of the more underated backs in the NFL, but he plays for denver so i guess people will argue that, but for his frame, he runs hard, and is extremely fast...i remember he was a few picks away from dallas picking him, and he's from desoto, right outside of dallas, i was rooting for him to come here :(

but their defense is killer, from bottom to top, and these are the types of defenses that peyton manning seems to have problems with in the playoffs

I guarantee that if someone picks Cam Newton in the Top 5 they will regret it.

New England is the most balanced team of the three. They have a solid defense, good QB play, dominant running game. Not to mention, experience, coaching and veteran leadership it's the Patriots easily.
